Myofascial Release

Myofascial release, also called "trigger point method," is a massage technique in which gentle, sustained pressure on the problem areas is done to release adhesions and smooth out the fascia. Multiple studies show that myofascial release can result in decreased pain, better posture, reduced symptoms, increased range of motion and improved quality of life. The purpose of Myofascial Release is to break down scar tissue and relax the muscles.

Myofascial Release for Fibromyalgia

A condition called myofascial pain syndrome, in which fascial restrictions and trigger points cause widespread pain, is extremely common in people with fibromyalgia. In fact, fibromyalgia and myofascial pain syndrome are considered risk factors for each other. Portions of the healthcare community believe they are actually the same condition.

Most people new to massage aren't aware of what these different techniques mean so we decided to simplify it. An Integrative massage can be anyone of these styles or a combination.

Trigger Point Therapy

A trigger point is a tight area within muscle tissue that causes pain in other parts of the body. A trigger point in the back, for example, may produce referral pain in the neck. The neck, now acting as a satellite trigger point, may then cause pain in the head. The pain may be sharp and intense or a dull ache. In Trigger Point Therapy direct pressure is applied to specified points on tender muscle tissue to bring about reduction in muscle tension and pain relief.

Stimulates circulatory system promoting release of toxins from muscles and assisting body in self-healing

A natural, alternative therapy that involves scraping your skin with a massage tool to improve your circulation. This ancient Chinese healing technique may offer a unique approach to better health, addressing issues like chronic pain. The therapist scrapes your skin with short or long strokes to stimulate microcirculation of the soft tissue, which increases blood flow. They make these strokes with a smooth-edged instrument known as a gua massage tool. Oil is applied to your skin, and then the tool repeatedly scrapes your skin in a downward motion. Inflammation is the underlying cause of several conditions associated with chronic pain. Rubbing the skin’s surface is thought to help break up this energy, reduce inflammation, and promote healing. Gua sha is generally performed on a person’s back, buttocks, neck, arms, and legs. Mild pressure is applied, and gradually increase intensity to determine how much force you can handle.

Lymphatic & Circulatory MassageThis type of gentle massage is intended to encourage the natural drainage of the lymph from the tissues space of the body. The lymph system depends on intrinsic contractions of the smooth muscle cells in the walls of lymph vessels (peristalsis) and the movement of skeletal muscles to propel lymph through the vessels to lymph nodes and then beyond the lymph nodes to the lymph ducts which return lymph to the cardiovascular system. Manual lymph drainage uses a specific amount of pressure and rhythmic circular movements to stimulate lymph flow.
